There is no better way to start Advent Sunday than with a »musical journey through the history of organ music«: this is how Christian Schmitt, renowned concert organist and professor at the Rotterdam Conservatory, describes his matinee programme, showcasing the »king of all instruments«, from the most beautiful Romantic pieces to a work exclusively for the pedals (i.e. played with the feet alone)!
